Could you build this?
Partial Generating text and basic citations is straightforward, but building an academic co-author that rigorously validates scientific literature against academic databases without hallucinations requires advanced search and validation infrastructure.
What it would actually take: Requires indexing and semantic search over massive scientific corpuses (e.g., Semantic Scholar, arXiv, PubMed APIs) integrated with fine-grained RAG pipelines. Builders must implement specialized reference validation, citation graph traversal, and academic formatting verification to ensure rigor.
